Description
Africa Educational Trust has merged with Street Child, the NGO that works in the world’s toughest places to help some of the most vulnerable children have access to education.
Our education projects are managed by specialists, not generalists. Many agencies include basic education among their programmes, or focus on one aspect of education provision such as school building. We, however, employ national staff with formal qualifications in disciplines such as working with children, teaching, and education management. Our focus is on improving education so that students are encouraged to use and apply their knowledge, rather than merely learn facts and figures by rote. Some agencies help children get to school by sponsoring individuals, or by providing physical structures, but we are more concerned about the quality of education, wanting all children and adults to be afforded the opportunity to learn something useful and empowering.
